To check the consumption of<br />
sodium that can be measured<br />
objectively, a urinalysis was<br />
conducted. A baseline urinalysis was<br />
conducted where the amount of<br />
sodium in the urine was conducted<br />
and as the experiment progressed, a<br />
linear model was used to see the<br />
trends with salt frequency and the<br />
concentration of sodium in urinary<br />
excretion.² There were several<br />
adjustments made to the linear<br />
model such as sex, race, smoking<br />
status, alcohol consumption,<br />
frequency of<br />
physical activity, and different<br />
diseases such as diabetes, high<br />
cholesterol, cancer, chronic kidney<br />
disease (CKD), and overall energy<br />
intake.²<br />
When it came to the results of the<br />
study, researchers found that the<br />
participants that had the lowest<br />
frequency of salt addition were<br />
women, white, and those that have a<br />
lower BMI. These participants also<br />
consumed less alcohol, were more<br />
active physically, less likely to be<br />
smokers, and they adhered to the<br />
DASH diet more by increasing their<br />
intake of fruits, vegetables, legumes,<br />
and whole grains.²<br />
The study found that a lower<br />
addition of salt was associated with a<br />
lower risk of developing<br />
cardiovascular disease.² This is<br />
outside of other factors such as<br />
preexisting diseases and different<br />
lifestyle factors such as smoking and<br />
alcohol consumption. The follow<br />
process of the experiment took 11.8<br />
years and, in that time, a total of<br />
9,963 cases of different CVD were<br />
reported and these diseases ranged<br />
from ischemic heart disease, stroke<br />
and heart failure.² The addition of<br />
salt showed a greater significance in<br />
heat failure followed by ischemic<br />
heart disease than the other CVDs.<br />
There were some limitations with<br />
the study and the major one being<br />
that the sodium addition was a selfreported<br />
frequency, so it made the<br />
data more subjective. To make the<br />
data more objective where it could<br />
be measured more accurately, the<br />
urine sodium concentration was<br />
measured.2 The sound limitation is<br />
that the participants were making<br />
life-altering decisions by<br />
participating in the study. Adding<br />
salt in high frequencies can promote<br />
an unhealthy lifestyle or change<br />
dietary patterns.² Since the study<br />
was conducted in the UK, the results<br />
are based on the dietary pattern of<br />
people in that region and it does not<br />
take into account different cultural<br />
eating habits so the results are<br />
unclear when it comes to the greater<br />
population.<br />
